Adding Failure Codes to a CAPA
You can add failure codes on a CAPA by adding an FMEA object or manually adding a reported experienced effect.
* 
The QMS - Failure Codes - Display Pick FMEA Action preference controls if this functionality is enabled. This preference is set to true for new installations. It is set to false for upgrades and updates.
By default, the Display Types in Failure Codes Tables preference is set to false. For the Failure Mode Type, Failure Effect Type, and Harm Hazard Type columns to appear in the Failure Codes table, set this preference to true. This preference only applies to editable tables for adding FMEA objects and dynamic records. Use views to configure viewable tables.
Administrators must manually add access control permissions for users to create, modify, or delete FMEA objects.
1. In the Affected Objects table, in the New CAPA Request window, add objects as needed. Click the edit details icon in the added object row.
To add a reported experienced effect, in the Edit Details window, in the Failure Codes table, click the Add Reported Experienced Effects icon . The system adds a blank row to the Failure Codes table.
To add an existing FMEA, do the following:
1. In the Edit Details window, in the Failure Codes table, click the Pick FMEA icon . The Select FMEA window opens.
2. In this window, search for the FMEA that relates to the part.
3. Select the FMEA from the Search Results table and click OK. Attributes from the FMEA object appear in the Failure Codes table.
2. Enter or edit the FMEA information:

You can only edit the fields from the add FMEA icon during the Intake state. If an investigator receives more details about an effect during the Investigation state, the investigator must copy the effect from the Intake state and make changes to the copy. This allows the system to retain the history of the effect from the Intake state.
You can edit fields from the add reported experienced effect icon during the Intake, Investigation and Effectiveness states.
When visible, the Lessons Learned and Confirm fields can be edited regardless of the state their effect was created.
You cannot remove effects that were entered during a different state.
When visible, the Failure Mode Type, Failure Effect Type, and Harm Hazard Type columns show the type information for a failure effect, failure mode, or harm hazard. These fields are not editable, but they change when a failure effect, failure mode, or harm hazard is selected.
